Pacific Control Systems, a total automation solutions provider with operations around the world, inaugurated its headquarters in Techno Park, Dubai.

The headquarter building is the first Platinum rated green building accredited by the US Green Building Council (USGBC) Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) pogramme in the Middle East and 16th in the world.

The inauguration was attended by senior officials and dignitaries, including chairman of USGBC Sandy Wiggins.

“We are proud to unveil our headquarters today. Our headquarter building is built in line with our commitment to the UAE government’s drive towards achieving sustainable development in the region. It is our belief that our initiative will set a new benchmark for other green development projects in the UAE and elsewhere, demonstrating our commitment to environmental stewardship and social responsibility,” said chairman and CEO, Pacific Controls, Dilip Rahulan.

As part of the inauguration event of its headquarters, Pacific Controls also launched a document on Technology for Sustainable Development. The document is a blueprint towards developing technologies to create a more sustainable society.

The award winning headquarter building has achieved LEED certification from the USGBC, accumulating a total of 55 points, a Platinum rating, and the first ever accrued to date for any newly constructed building in UAE seeking such a certification.

The stunning campus has already won two international awards in 2007: Extreme Office Building in the world “Digie Award” against Taipei 101 and Shaghai Financial Centre; Best Intelligent Building in the World in Chicago 2007.

The Green Building has minimal impact on the environment through energy and water conservation; waste minimisation and recycling; and no green house gas emissions. Providing employees with a healthy and unique experience helps Pacific Controls to create the best environment for creativity and high productivity.- TradeArabia News Service
